Oral Systemic Connections: The Why and The How

By Machell Hudson

Collaborative Care works interdisciplinary between medical and dental professionals to help patients reach health. Collaboration and oral-systemic health is a growing topic many have become passionate about within the past decade. It is due to witnessing countless patients going from desperation to giving up, discovering why they feel so horrible to ridding their aching bodies of pain and stress. It is the greatest gift a patient can receive and the greatest reward for the healthcare providers that worked together to discover the root cause of inflammation. The WHO defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.' In the United States, roughly 2.7% of the healthcare expenditure is spent on prevention, while at the same time, disease statistics continue to climb. Metabolic Health, or their lack of it, is leading the cause of disease within our country. Oral disease is closely connected to many leading causes, such as cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, and the list continues to grow. In decades, today is the most tumultuous and exciting time for change within healthcare. It is undeniable that learning to work together between dental and medical professions is the most authentic opportunity to discover the root cause of inflammation and help our patients discover what it feels like to be healthy and free of disease.
